What is a Station, a Dock, and a Kiosk?

A station is the row of docked bikes and open docks that can be found throughout Chicagoland. They are solar powered, and each station consists of a variable number of bike docking ports.

A dock is what holds each individual bicycle. The bicycles are locked into the docks and must be unlocked using a bike key or ride code. Each dock contains a slot for the bike key and a keypad where ride codes can be entered. Docks also have a red, yellow and green light. If a dock is showing a red light, it means that the bike is broken and cannot be unlocked.

A kiosk is the tall structure that can be found at each Divvy station. The kiosk contains information about how the system works, as well as a touchscreen that can be used to buy passes, get ride codes, and redeem gift certificates.
